We were excited after our initial discussion with Simon and felt he would do a great job presenting to our team and he really delivered. He took us through his journey and was able to weave in our business, making his message relevant to the audience. Simon came across as being truly authentic and spoke with honesty which was very appreciated by our team. The number of people with glossy eyes and the active Q&A session demonstrated this. I also spoke with several colleagues in the days following Simon’s presentation and learned many had shared his story with their network and also shared the link to the Simon Keith Foundation. Simon was definitely one of the week’s highlights!
